Default New style Clear Corners available

I have been wanting to get a set of clear corners for the car. From what I have been able to gather, there have been a couple of options up until this point.

The all-clear versions that look like this:




The beautiful black trim/clear reflector ones that I originally wanted shown here on forum member Joshvette's car:



I had originally ordered these from WCC because that was the only place I knew of that carried the black trim/clear reflector ones. I got an email after placing the order from WCC stating that they have been discontinued. They are still available to order on their website.

I found a new style from the manufacturer Depo that look just like the ones on joshvette's car with the black trim but have an amber reflector.

According to the Depo website, it is a new item so it probably hasn't been seen much by most people. Scroll to the bottom of this page:

I went to that big auction site and found a couple of people selling them. I used buy it now and picked up a set, I will post pics and my thoughts of them when they arrive.

This is the best pic I could find of them:



edit, found better pic:






re-edit, found the best pic yet:

Those look awesome!!!

I love how they the reflective backing makes it look almost like a running light, yet the amber reflectors still keep the stock look. I can't wait to see pics and hear your opinions on the quality of the lights.

Those look very good. Since my stock lenses have small cracks in one of the corners, might be time for a switch.
